SALTING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 11, 1913.

Application filed July so; 1912. Serial No. 712,286.

'Llibeck, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSalting Apparatus, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawlng.

The subject of the present invention is a salting apparatus with thepickling salt surrounding the meat in. an unbroken circle under theaction of electricity.

As against the similar salting apparatuses already known, the inventionconsists in a valuable improvement of them which is distinguished by thevats, which are put in connection with one another by clay pipes, and

also the pump consisting of earthenware, coated with a specially hardglazing of great resisting power, to allow of the electric cur rentintroduced into the salting vat acting equally on the meat to be treatedwithout atl'ecting the holder. 'logether with a saving in electrictorce,'the action of which on the salting rats is completely avoided, aspeedy salting of the goods is procured which is quite unobjectimiablehygienically in every way, as all the parts which come in contact withthe pickling salt cannot oxidize and are easily cleaned and rause notrouble.

In the illustration: Figure I. shows the subjectklflhf theinvention insection, and Fig.

7 II the view from above.

Acer-irding to the invention the apparatus consists of two trough-likeearthenware holders A and B. The holder A is provided bottom a"ac laypipe 6 is introduced into the holder A, wh ch is connected with thesuction pipe 9 of the pump in a clay pipe la connected which isintroduced intoc the holder B. In the upper part of the holder A a "claypipe 2' which is introduced on the slope into the holder B, is arrangedso that its inlet when the holder full lies above lid 1;. Under the exitof the pipe "i in@ holder B a cooling coil is is arranged, in which coldwater circulates.

The letter, H, designates the lower part of the pump.

i The goods to be treated are placed on the bottom a, of the holder A,lightlycovered with the lidwith holes 0 and perhaps weighted or keptdown by meansof a suit able, appliance for ap 'ilying pressure. Theholder B is filled with the pickling material the'pump we set to worknow sucks the pickling material by means of the'connecting pipes y, itfrom the holder 13 and presses it by means 01 the connecting pipes c,into the holder A. The material then ascends through the apertures a tothe meat, presses up through the lid 0 to space /c and flows backthrough the tube j again into the holder B, via the cooling coil is, bywhich any possible alteration of temperature is made to disappear, andthen again enters on its circuit. The

electric current started at the beginning ot and the bones and as thereis no loss of the current: by conductible parts of the holder,

etc., an exceedingly quicksalting is obtained.

Any letting otl of the salting material From the holder is convenientlydone by loosening the tubes 6 and y] from the pump, after which theholder, pump and tubes can be easily cleaned, as the earthenware partsare not attacked by the salt-solution nor do they allow of oxidation orrotting. v

- Having now described the invention and the manner of using it, what Iclaim and de sire to secure, is

in salting apparatus, two trough-like en: axneled vats, A andBptheholding vat A having a pickling bottom a with aperturesthcrcthrough, a lid (shaving apertures c j disposed omsaid holding vat,below the delivery pipef of a pump or. lYith the upper edge ofsaid vat,a ridge Z, supporting said lmttoma, said vat B, a force pump be tweensaul vats, a suction pipe connecting said pump with the lower part ofsaid Vat" B; a delivegy pipe connecting said pump with a space below theperforated bottom of vat A, an inclined pipe connecting the part is, ofthe vet A with the upper part of vat 5 B, cooling means and means topass an electric current tlupugh the substance being created.

' In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of twoWitnesses.
